Support My Family After Devastating Landslide in Batangas

Hi, everyone.

My name is Abby Tirados Caringal, and I am organizing a fundraiser for my family in the Philippines.

On October 24, a landslide caused by Typhoon Kristine struck Lumampao, Don Juan, Cuenca, Batangas. Tragically, my family lost their home, and three loved ones passed away: my grandma's cousin, Isabel Umali (68), Isabel's daughter-in-law, Gisell Umali (35), and grandson, Kyle Umali (13). Gisell and Kyle were buried in mud for five days, and their deceased bodies were found hugging each other, while Isabel died instantly. Armando Umali, Isabel’s husband, is currently in the hospital with a broken leg after trying to reach her during the landslide.

This GoFundMe aims to raise funds to support my family with medical bills, funeral and memorial services, and the loss of their home. Any amount you can donate would mean the world to me, my grandma, and our entire family. If you’re unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this message to help spread the word, or pray for the souls of the victims and their families who are left behind.

We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and support. Thank you.
